Rio: The score

Yes, I realize that the "Rio" thing has been hit pretty hard around here, but that is because it is the most recent movie I've viewed! But I promise you that Monday will have another movie, then probably followed by it's score.







Rio: The score

John Powell has never let us down when it came time for a children's movie, and with this one being place (as the title suggests) in Rio, John does not hesitate to see what new instruments he can pull out and introduce the the score. With so many instruments I love to hear yet never heard of, with even the inclusion of bird calls, Powell wonderfully gets across the point that this.......is a bird movie (if the high number of wood-wind instruments didn't give that away.

With scores like "Morning Routine" that shows the fun in the movie and "Motorbike" which sounds very mechanical without leaving the "tropic sounds" behind. John gave us just what we wanted, a score that has the movie inside it.
